neby100 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi. I´ve been configuring my shop for a few days. Everything was fine until today. I changed the friendly urls of my SEO + URLs and now some of the pages I changed that for don´t work anymore, they just show error 404. Is there a way to refresh the friendly URLs so the changes I made will take effect and the site will work properly again? Thank you in advance.

PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 this can often be solved by clearing your 'browser' cache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 You can just delete your .htaccess file. Or turn the feature off and on. It never hurts to clear your cache as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Dalton Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Hi neby100, in Preferences / SEO & URLs you have Friendly URLs set to "Yes". Set Friendly URLs to "No", click the save button, then set it to yes and again click the save button. This will overwrite your old .htaccess file with a new one. In Advanced Parameters / Performance turn your cache off, save it, and turn it back on and remember to save.

The error happened when I tried to go to the sitemap after changing its meta description (and I think that was the only page it happened to). I tried a few of the other ones and they worked so I figured it would happen to some of them but after resetting sitemap it started to work again. So I´m guessing it was just that you can´t change the sitemap meta description. Do you think that could be it? Thank you for the help.

Bill Dalton Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 No clue. I would need to see exactly what was done and how you are set up. Live and learn, all's well that ends well. See you around the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
